The Delhi High Court today issued notice to Arnab Goswami and Republic TV seeking their response to a plea filed by Congress MP Shashi Tharoor alleging misreportage in the controversy surrounding his late wife Sunanda Pushkar's death.

The interim application was filed by Tharoor in the ongoing defamation case against Goswami for allegedly maligning the Congress MP after certain audio tapes were played on Republic TV indicating foul play in the death of Sunanda Pushkar.
